Book on Indo-Sri Lanka Accord launched in Tamil Nadu

The Tamil book 'Ore inaprachinaiyum or opandhamum' authored by T. Ramakrishnan, Senior Associate Editor with The Hindu, was launched in Chennai recently. The first copy was handed to the author's mother, Rajeswari Thyagarajan.

Addressing the event N. Ram, Chairman, The Hindu Group, stated that Panruti S. Ramachandran, then a Minister in M.G. Ramachandran's Cabinet had explained Prabakaran's position to Rajiv Gandhi and that the former would never compromise on anything less than a separate State for Tamils. The gap could not be bridged. I know that neither Centre nor State has supported a separate State. Even in Tamil Nadu, people have not supported the idea.
